We support innovative AI research that bridges disciplines and fields. We appoint and support promising researchers working at intersections often overlooked by traditional academic departments, in addition to outstanding researchers pursuing core disciplinary topics.
These scholars represent a diverse range of research, from education data science to digital health innovation, AI safety and ethical development, energy science, psychology, geophysics, AI literacy, and precision medicine.
For questions related to the Stanford Institute for Human Centered Artificial Intelligence fellowship programs
HAI’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program offers opportunities to explore topics, conduct research, and collaborate across disciplines related to AI technologies, applications, or impact.
Fellows will have the opportunity to contribute to the research goals of the faculty/lab/center/research team they will join, in addition to advancing their own scholarship and research skills. In the spirit of cross-disciplinary collaboration and community building, fellows will also be required to engage in HAI programming to develop the skills necessary to further their research, careers, and the mission of HAI: advancing AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition.
HAI is particularly interested in applicants doing research at the frontiers of artificial intelligence with other disciplines, including but not limited to the humanities, business, education, law, medicine, and physical and social sciences.
Applications were due on April 3, 2025. Selections will be made by May 2025.
HAI offers a 3-quarter program for Stanford Graduate Students. The fellowship fosters collaboration between engineers, social scientists, humanists, and others researching the future of purposeful, intentional, and human-centered AI.
HAI seeks graduate students who are well-rounded across disciplines.
The graduate fellows will:
Participate in mandatory bi-weekly seminars with HAI Affiliated Faculty, guest speakers, HAI postdocs, and fellow cohort members.
Participate in events with other HAI Fellows (i.e., paper/proposal workshops, practice job talks, training opportunities, and socials).
Contribute to a final group project (i.e., poster session, blog post, student-led event)
Be located on campus for all 3 quarters during AY 2025-2026 (fall, winter, spring)
The fellowship will pay $1,000 per quarter.
Apply for the 2025-2026 academic year by 11:59pm PT on May 9, 2025.

Stanford Embedded Ethics is a collaborative program that embeds the teaching of ethics directly into the core undergraduate courses of Stanford’s computer science curriculum. Working in collaboration with CS faculty and graduate students, fellows create curricular materials, course assignments, and teach ethics modules in CS courses. The fellows also participate in the intellectual life of the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society and Stanford HAI.
HAI and the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society are offering a 9-10 week fellowship for Stanford undergraduate and graduate students to engage in the technology ethics and policy field as it intersects with public policy and social impact.
